Some Decorating Advice
Here is a picture of our foyer. I have those 2 cut outs and have no idea what to put in there. Thinking maybe candle sconces? I want to leave the "open feel" to it, but it needs something.
I have this table and mirror on the opposite wall to give you an idea.

Re: Some Decorating Advice
If you want to keep the open feel how about some of those decorative wrought iron panels
Like this but in a rectangular shape

Re: Some Decorating Advice
The first thing that came to mind was some sort of paintings or prints to add some more color to the area.

It's funny you mention that, I was thinking of even painting the "cut out's" a different color to accent it. But, I might do the route of just getting some cute little prints.

Re: Some Decorating Advice
I think mirrors would look really nice. As well as sconces, but I think they would have be to be on the larger size so the cut out doesnt swallow them. Large iron ones would still allow an open feel.
I have the same mirror - love it, but it looks a little big over that console, overpowering it a bit. Can you relocate it somewhere else and put mirrors in the cut-outs so the foyer doesnt have so many?
Your house looks beautiful BTW.

I think you could do the different color in the cut out and d the prints. maybe find something with a pop color or a combo of the two colors. all great ideas. GL! 
And if you wanted to go a little more you could recess puck lights on the top to display the prints or art work more. The have the wireless ones now. Just another thought.

This is the 1st thing I thought of also.
Maybe something on a canvas.

I actually got the mirror idea from you . I loved it!!!
It looks 100% better in person and the angle I took it at is not great, but in person the combo looks great.
Thank you

Re: Some Decorating Advice
Here are some more ideas -
Tapestries - one in each cut out.
Artwork -
These are a little too formal - but I like the concept - mirrors and sconces in one!

Re: Some Decorating Advice
I agree with the previous suggestions about putting artwork in the cut-outs. I would also consider getting some picture lights to put above the art to highlight them and make the cut-outs more dramatic. The effect would be something like this: Image Attachment(s):

Re: Some Decorating Advice
I would paint the insert different colors and then hang some sort of iron candle sconce there.
